The 2022 Copa América Femenina was the 9th edition of the main international women's football championship in South America, the Copa América Femenina, for national teams affiliated with CONMEBOL. The competition was held in Colombia from 8 to 30 July 2022.
The tournament acted as South American qualification for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, providing three direct qualifying places and two play-off places for the Women's World Cup, and three more places for the 2023 Pan American Games tournament in Santiago (in addition to Chile who qualified automatically as hosts). In addition, the two finalists qualified for the football tournament at the 2024 Summer Olympics in France. After this edition, the tournament would be held every two years instead of four.
